In less than two months, former president Rodrigo Duterte went from denying that he described President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. as a “drug addict” to claiming he was the first to call the chief executive that.
When completed, the Cavite-Bataan Interlink Bridge will be the second longest in the Philippines, but it is nowhere near the longest in the world, as Marcos claimed.
Marcos was “horrified” that an alleged agreement between Duterte and China may have “compromised” the territory, the sovereignty and the sovereign rights of the Philippines.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. contradicted the pronouncements of Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte on the return to the old academic calendar for elementary and high schools.
Marcos did not cite any basis for the claim, data from the CHR show that cases of alleged human rights violations did fall in 2023 but not by 50%.
